Had 4 KLR's, but XL600R was my Alaska/Canada bike! But had a blast on all of them except the last one, just could not warm up to that one for some reason.

Seems like there was a time when I could ride the wheels off any kind of bike, didn't matter about the power, crappy brakes/suspension. Now, I don't know. What with all these bikes with Big Piston forks, and one-finger brakes, and gobs of power, don't know if I am spoiled or what. All I can tell y'all is my F800GS is a drastically better bike than my 2008 KLR 650, but I think my 1989 R100GS in many was better than the F800GS. It didn't have the brakes or power, for sure, but the airhead just kept the CG low, the shaft drive was very cool, and it was real comfy. But again that was back in the day when every bike seemed great.

Maybe that's why I had to get this Wolf Classic.

BTW, the CB1100 IS fast, just not gonna please anyone trying to make into the kind of machine the 1983 CB1100F was when built. Not gonna happen, ever, even if Honda puts "RS" after the name.
